Will My Daughter Lose Her Benefits If I Remarry?

My daughter and I receive Survivor Benefits from her birth father's passing. She is 15 years old. If I remarry, will she loose her benefits? I understand that I will after I marry.
Thank you



Hi,

No, if you remarry it would have no adverse effect on your daughter's Social Security survivor benefits.

Best, Jerry
